it's capped at master CM. Those tapes and toys that have bonuses listed to CM effectiveness are just decoration. They do not work and probably never will.

sorry didn't answer the other part of your question, what does it effect. It affects the amount of damage you do. Take your effectiveness in a percentage and add one to it then multiply that by the power of your poisons (effectiveness listed on poison). IE, a 0004 CM has an effectiveness of 5 and a 4004 CM has a effectiveness of 75. If they both were to toss a poions with the same stats, the 4004 CM would to more damage per tick. For example if your poisons had an effectiveness listed at 300, the 0004 CM would do 315 (300 X 1.05) damage per tick and the 4004 CM would do 525 (300 X 1.75) damage per tick. FYI MCM get a 100 effectiveness so they do double the damage of the poisons effectiveness (600 damager per tick in previous example).
Hope that helps, tapes and toys with effectiness bonuses don't work but as you move up the ranged healing tree you do more damage with your increased effectiveness.... bonuses to effectiveness fall into the same category as med sue and CM med use. They will most likely never work because it diminishes the value of getting the master title.

I thought CM effectiveness caps at 125... Now i'll have to run a few tests to see if I am fooling myself.

No, it caps at 100(master combat medic). If you had an additional +25 in effectiveness past master which in theory would place you at 125 effectiveness, you would still do the same damage as if you have 100 effectiveness, thus hsi point that effectiveness skill tapes have no affect.

I haven't run any test since the last publish and occasionaly things change so I may be wrongso if you do notice a change then please post. I did tests after getting my first nyax necklace and was a bit disapointed in that 200k....even more disapointed when I tried to get another and found how frequently they drop. Spent too many credits on a fairly common item that doesn't work.
